Each year Lincoln Lutheran students have the privilege of celebrating Homecoming Week with a variety of activities.

We hope you can join us for one or all of them.

The Reverend Dr. Luke Biggs will be our guest speaker at a worship service in the school’s main gym to which all friends and family of Lincoln Lutheran – past, present and future are invited to attend. The service will include participation by pastors from our Lincoln churches as well as music selections from an Alumni Choir and the Lincoln Lutheran High School Choir. All those who support Lincoln Lutheran and its 50 year legacy of Christian education are encouraged to attend. There will be a reception following the service. Tours of the buildings will also be given.

Class Decorating and Powder Puff Games – Sunday, Sept. 25 @ 4:00 p.m.

High school classes will be decorating hallways based on a selected decade, representing a walk through time and look back through 50 years. Following the decorating contest sponsored by the Student Council, Junior and Seniors will compete in a football game for the girls and a volleyball game for the boys. FCA will sponsor a meal at the end of the night for the students. Come out to the practice fields at 5:45 to cheer the girls on to a football victory!
